I have not been on that combo but am having great results with tykerb/xeloda. I take 6 pills a day of xeloda (my doc told me that is max dose and then some for my body weight) and 5 of tykerb every day. Lots of women have had great results with xeloda and H, go for it, its well worth it to beat this disease back down. I do have side effects, rash on face, hand/foot syndrome, increased bilirubin and upset tummy with loose bm's. I know, it doesn't sound like fun! But I am doing well, NED and working long hours, standing on my feet with a very active lifestyle.
Good luck to you.
